Ipod Nano 6th gen is not recognized by my computer or itunes.

I have tried everything the forums have said and have also tried every solution i could find online. Please help, this is getting ridiculous.

What displays on the iPods screen when you have it connected?  I assume you have tried another known working USB cable?
Is iTunes up do date on your PC (currently at 10.7)?
Have you tried connecting to another PC or Mac?

  • TS1410 My ipod nano 3rd gen. is not recognized by my computer or itunes.  Support page does not help.

    My macbook is not recognizing my 3rd gen. ipod nano after I reset the ipod.  THe finder not itunes recognizes it.  Can someone help?

    If you have not already, disconnect the iPod and restart your Mac.  Do this to Reset the iPod.

    Once the Mac restarts, run iTunes and connect the iPod. 
    If that does not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    then, connect it to the Mac running iTunes.  It's possible that iTunes will tell you that you need to Restore the iPod.

  • My iPod nano 6th gen is not recognised by my computer or itunes, but still charges?

    My laptop recently came back from repairs and  wiped everything off of it, so I have had to reinstall everything again. The only way I have got my music is on my ipod, so I cant lose any of the music stored on the ipod.
    I have tried everything to connect it to my laptop, but it just wont connect.
    I have followed all instructions from other people who have had the same problem, but nothing works. I have tried uninstalling itunes, where I delete everything and reinstall it. I have tried uninstalling all my usb ports and reinstalling them. I have tried to download apple usb driver, but it didn't work. I have reset my ipod many times - but nothing works! My computer just wont show my ipod, but it still charges it.

    And you have a tried a different USB cable to verify that the current cable is not faulty or damaged? If so, that points to a hardware issue with the Nano, likely its dock connector port. Look for signs of damaged/bent/corroded pins or debris that could be blocking a proper connection.

    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Ipod nano and shuffle are not recognized by my computer or itunes

    When I plug in the ipod, both the nano 6th generation and the shuffle, the device is not recognized by my computer or itunes.  It will be recognized by my computer for a few seconds and then disappears.  The device will show up on the right side of the screen in itunes but not on the left.  The troubleshooter tells me it is a compatability issue.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, i have turned off the compatabilty mode, nothing works.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen is not recognized by any computers, I've tried restarting it, resetting it, restarting the computer, any number of stuff it says on here, but it is still unrecognized by either my computer or my roommate's computer.

    Hi all!
    I have a 6th gen ipod nano. I wanted to sync it to get some new music onto it, but my computer won't recognize it. I've tried restarting it and resetting it numerous times, both plugged into the computer and not. I've confirmed that both the Apple Mobile Device service and iPod services are running. I've updated my itunes, I've updated my virus software (I highly doubt that is the problem, it's the same software I've always used and my iPod worked fine before) and I've tried any multitude of ******** "fixes" you can find in this forum or anywhere else on the web.
    The ipod does charge when I plug it in, and I've tried 2 of my roommate's cords, so that isn't it either. My USB drivers are also up to date and work just find with anything else, including my printer, my cellphone, etc.
    so... anyone have any suggestions?
    Oh, I'm also running a Dell Studio 15 laptop with Windows 7.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

  • Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

    any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

    Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

  • IPod Nano (6th gen) will not sync.

    Okay, I have an iPod Nano (6th generation) that won't sync. I've reset the iPod many times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, done all the suggestions given by the troubleshooting assistant, and still nothing. When I plug it in, it turns on and begins charging, but the computer doesn't do anything. It doesn't make a little sound, it doesn't say it recognized a device. It just does nothing. I'm not in a serious rush to fix this, but I recently got some new podcasts that I REALLY want to sync on there. Does anybody have suggestions? I seriously need help.

  • How to reformat Ipod Nano 5th gen when not recognized by Windows or iTunes?

    I've done all the steps on the site to correct this problem up until the reformatiing part except I tried to update the driver software but Windows says that it encounters an error when trying to install the new software.
    So after going through the steps I noticed that the iPod I just bought was formatted for Mac. It says that in order for me to reformat, I have to restore my iPod in iTunes but since it isn't recognized my my computer or iTunes, I can't do it.
    Suggestions anyone?
